Motorcyclist killed in Otay Mesa crash

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A motorcyclist was killed in a crash Monday in Otay Mesa. The accident on Picador Boulevard near Beyer Way was reported shortly before 4 a.m., San Diego police Officer Dan Lasher said.

The rider apparently lost control and crashed into a utility box, according to news reports from the scene.

A power outage was affecting 625 San Diego Gas & Electric customers in Otay Mesa, Nestor and San Ysidro, but it was not immediately clear if the accident was the cause. SDG&E estimated electrical service would be restored by 8:30 a.m.

It was also unclear whether dense morning fog was a factor in the crash.
